Unit #1 Chapters 1-4 Review Sheet
A friendly reminder: This review sheet is to help prepare you for the AP Examination in May.
I recommend that you complete this sheet on loose-leaf or typed. The more resources you
have to prepare the better. You’re your textbook and the AP Review book. I have posted
many resources on the blog. I will be collecting/checking your review sheet the day of the
examination. There is MUCH we have not covered in class, but you will still be responsible
for the material. This unit is will count on 5% of the AP Exam.
